This is the results of the match ups, W for win; L for loss; D for draw. The number opposite your name is the ranking of your opponent. 1 to 20 is the ranking of all players based on their ratings. Tnx.

One option to accelerate pairings for round 2, assuming we drop the two non-playing entries and no draw in the last match...

The eight 1-0 players play each other: #1 vs #5, #2 vs#6, etc (highest rhp ratings at tournament start gets #1 ranking for bracket pairing) and the eight 0-1 players play each other: (#1 vs #5, #2 vs#6,) etc. The two .5 players gets byes for R2 (normally you want everyone to play as many games as possible, but hey, they drew after 15 moves!). Other options for .5 players is to toss both in the 1-0 or the 0-1 brackets. I'm not the organizer, but this is more competitive than #1 playing #20 as in R1. Just a thought...🙂

I am the 18th ranked player and lost to ht e3rd ranked one.

I resigned, I was certain my opponent would avoid chasing me around the board and mate me.

pawntorook4 and YUGOslav: wondering if 26...Rc8-c7 equalizes for black?

That is too bad seeing how you could have probably drawn by repetition. Oh well.

Rxc1+ Kxc1 Qe1+ and now you chase the king around until a draw or mate.

I looked over my opponents games, I am pretty sure he would have gotten the mate.
